Once upon time, there was a street culture oriented magazine targeted towards badass young women and like-minded individuals. Indie favorites like Mira Sorvino and Katy Perry (this was a few years ago) regularly graced the covers and the articles as well as features inside the tome were just as witty and blunt. It’s name? Missbehave Magazine. Unfortunately, though, it went kaput last year. Since then women interested in receiving the latest news on ladies street fashion, culture, and music in a nice little monthly package have been forced to look elsewhere, primarily in the form of blogs and newsletters. That was, of course, before Hell Yeah Magazine was launched this year. Although it can't replace Missbehave (and nor does it seek to), the Australian-based street culture magazine covers similar topics, everything from art to “rabble rousing” as its website boasts. For its second issue, Hell Yeah focused on a pop art theme, recruiting the ladies of M.I.S.S. to style and shoot a pop-inspired street editorial. The issue also features interviews with Funkshone, Married to the Mob, Jason Bermas. To order copies/back issues you can send $10 [in Australia] or $20 [the rest of the world] US or AUS $ well concealed or an Australian Post money order to:

Transitioning from summer to fall can be, if you allow it, a tricky situation. For example, “At what point do I bid adieu to my favorite pair of ripped Levis?; Is it to early to rock the fall 2010 Miu Miu clogs?; Should I tell my roommate that she, in fact, doesn’t look like Beyonce in all those Wildfox tees after all?”
Indeed, fashionistas across America are asking themselves these and other deep, thought-provoking existential questions as they prep their closets for the forthcoming season. With that in mind, it appears Married to the Mob’s Leah McSweeney sought to make her first fall 2010 delivery, dubbed M.O.B. Aime Les Sucettes (M.O.B. loves lollipops) after Serge Gainsbourg’s ode to “Annie,” an easy prospect: if you fancy smart, understated street fashion, you’ll feel more than obligated to take home a piece from the cool label’s homage to the city of lights.

We love MOB. A lot. But there's something remarkably whack about them co-opting the anomaly known as The Hipster Grifter. Have you heard of her? She's the woman who's been conning everyone in New York and is currently wanted for arrest back in her home state of Utah. Head on over to Gawker for the back story if you're still loss.
But we digress.
MOB outfitted Keri Ferrell for an interview she did with Animal New York. In it, the beard-loving twenty-something gives a half-ass apology for ruining a lot of people's lives. It's bad. She looks even worse. There's absolutely nothing cool about stealing someone's social security card or telling people you have cancer to get them to feel bad for your trifling ass.
Now, if the criminal would have jacked some banks and gave the proceeds to recently laid off car workers or single mothers struggling to provide for their kids during this recession, this may not have been as bad. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Keri Ferrell is no modern day Robin Hood and why MOB felt like giving her a cape is beyond us. Unless, of course, unrepentant sociopaths are the inspiration for their next collection.
